There is a 2,200 acre woods for people to hike or horseback ride. Horses have the right of way at all times, and there are even traffic lights that you can trip that will stop the cars in all directions so that you can cross the street on your horse.

Ohio is pretty great. I live in Crawford County, about 40 minutes south of the lake. Horses aren't too expensive, there are lots of low-cost farms and stables, and there are surprisingly schooling and showing opportunities all over. Living and housing costs are relatively low, and some colleges offer programs, a few are OSU, Findlay, and Miami. There are a lot of other school opportunities as well. I live about 40 minutes from a mall, but you can get a LOT closer and still have horses. Richland County and Sandusky malls are the ones closest to me, and richland has tons of horse people. And of course don't forget Hocking Hills, Mohicant trails, and Malabar Farm trails, for example!

Texas sounds like what you're looking for. The problem is, you have to find a developing area that has the shopping outlets you want and the schools you want, but where the real estate you need isn't out of this world. Think about Wichita Falls or somewhere on the highway between Austin and Bryan/College Station (beautiful area).

I agree with Aiken, SC. The footing is the best in the country, the climate is great. There are horse farms everywhere and more appearing all the time. There are all sorts of horse related industries here. Polo, fox hunting, eventing, racing... Oh, yes, I do live here. I moved here for the horses. I own a boarding farm.

Lexington, Kentucky
The town is booming and big enough to have whatever you need, good university, pleasant people, close to many other large cities.
But if you drive 2 minutes out of town there are horse farms, riding acadamies and stables in every direction.
Everything is modest in terms of costs.
Schools are good.
We even have the Kentucky Horse Park!
Pleasant southern community.

It depends on what part of the country you're wanting to be in. If you like wide open spaces just about anywhere will do. If you're used to big cities or need to be near one for work reasons, you might consider a city like Norco, CA, which is known as Horsetown USA.
